9 World-class Software Application Powerful professional Delphi software Save time analysing your materials using UTS software s clear, precise, rich, user friendly tab-based interface with multiple real time graphical displays. Purpose-written test applications Benefit from more than 20 years of IPC Global s expert software application development. With UTS test applications written around international standards you can concentrate on analysing your materials; not on programing your testing machine. Test templates Specific test settings can be entered and saved by the Chief Engineer or Laboratory Manager for easy recall and testing by laboratory technicians. There is no need to configure the machine each time you want to perform a specific test. User programmable test When you are developing a new test method or want to run a novel test, UTS User-programmable test allows you to take full control and determine all the test, control and analysis parameters. All test data saved in portable binary files A powerful feature unique to UTS software. When the test is finished UTS saves in a binary file the results, the data points but also every one of the test setup parameters and calibration parameters. This means that at any time in the future the test can be reviewed as if it has just been performed complete with all test control, PID, specimen settings and results. The ultimate in clean accurate data IMACS integrated control and data acquisition with 4x oversampling technology, auto-ranging and effective 20 bit data resolution gives unparalleled control and waveform fidelity.
